Power 105's PD Ousted After Payola Revelations?

Flex has been dropping bombs all over his crowing commentary about this tonight. I'm not sure outside of music and radio industry folks who really cares about this though?

I remember back in the 80s when the word payola was part of the lexicon, but so many people seem to have forgotten about the problem. I know you have been on this story for a while (I rememeber reading it a while back.). Do you know if there are investigations outside of NY? Spitzer is notorious for taking an corporate criminals, but I wonder if any other attorneys general are doing this? Do you know?

On another note, all you have to do to figue out that something fishy is going on is turn on the radio. They play some of the worst songs ever.

I'm not sure how Spitzer's investigation worked but I know radio execs from other cities were named, one from San Diego..

That's interesting; I don't know how Spitzer can do that, but I get the sense that this is widespread.

Next stop Hot 97

Well, it's more than just the huge amount of bad music. The big thing is that all the stations play the same stuff. Really, at this point, does anyone have an emotional attachment to one station over another? They use records that they think will sell, but they make sure to bombard us with them everywhere we turn.

In other words--it's impossible now to use radio as a barometer of what's hot and what's not. Instead of standing independently, radio is now a tool, something that really stinks for local cats trying to come up.

the usual way to bribe radio execs is to place cash bets for them at the races. Untraceable and undocumented. Thats the way they used to do it at the BBC in London.

Jay-Z set the prescendent as far as I'm concerned when he made a reference to Nas's daughter (something about leaving a used condom in her car seat) and then Camron (monkey see, monkey do)followed pursuit (Nas, I'll R Kelly in Destiny's face). Where was the FCC when Hot 97's Angie Martinez and Funk Master Flex played the song on repeat!!! Or what about when Ja Rule made the harsh remark about Em's daughte. It's okay in some for instances, but intolerable in others? These are innocent children. Wake up people! There is more than one snake in this barrel, let's dead them all starting with the ones that set the criteria.

Payola has gone on for years in the radio business. It happens everyday. These few just got caught.
